4.2.3 Machine room lock device

Accessing of machine room must be restricted to enter. Only qualified persons can enter the
room to protect wrong usage. For rescue under emergency situation and maintenance,
operation manager or certified person must control machine room keys.
All corridors to machine room and CP should be safe and all kinds of changes or dangerous
things must be informed Maintenance Company.
4.2.4 Safe getting in and getting off

Car stop level may be high or low according to car load and operation control.
Passengers and freights must be careful not to fall down by sill level. In case a handcart roller
is too small, it may be jammed between sills. So, do not use this kind of handcart.
Be careful that not to drop foreign substances and be caught in high hill or stick between sills.
When you carry some freight, consider that load does not balanced at an edge and it must be
fixed not to shake. Check and compare the real load and capacity of elevator. Operating with
heavy load is danger.
Never use the fork loader to carry freight.
4.2.5 Free accessing hall

All halls must be cleaned that passengers can use elevator freely without danger. Remove all
obstacles and hindrances.
4.2.6 Action for observation car

In case of observation elevator that is installed in building, it has no full concrete wall. So, it
needs protection wall against falling stuff, and protection fens that person cannot close to
protection wall within 2 m. This is for passengers safe from fire or similar hazard.
